Wednesday is for Prayer
Oh how I want every one who knows me to read this post by Jonathan Parnell and to listen to this four minute video by John Piper. Here’s just a few reasons.
- Last year, I published a book titled, Picking a President: Or any other elected official and I don’t want it to divert me from my primary task of training church planters and teaching the word of God.
- It is too easy to do good things for good reasons without the power of the Spirit.
- I don’t want to be dragged into every political debate that my friends are having with their neighbors, friends and relatives. Let’s not confuse political parties with the gospel.
- It is foolish to think that we will change the world by political activism.
- I want to mobilize people to pray for revival and sometimes political activism gets in the way of real spiritual substance.
Here’s the link to a VERY important post and video.
Finally, Would you pray that the book which is at the printers today would have a powerful impact on helping people to be wise and discerning about their responsibility to vote and to live for Christ in the world.
